with a pricetag of $125, i know NONE of you will be picking this up, but what the hell...



i don't know if any of you have ever read madman, but it's an awesome comic. written and illustrated by mike allred (x-force/x-statix).

madman is a zany book about frank einstein, a man who died and was brought back to life by his professor friend. i don't really know what to say about it (i'm so bad at these). basically, if you were a fan of the offbeat nature of x-statix, madman is right up your alley. this omnibus collects every madman book ever made (with i think the exception of the superman crossover book) for a total of 26 comics and a great oversized hardbound edition.

i know i, for one, and really looking to reading this.

I love Madman. I started following it from the beginning with the "Trapped by Gravity" miniseries, but when it got a regular series, I kind of fell behind and eventually stopped following it. Despite this, Madman definitely rules!

I should definitely pick up the Madman Superman team-up book, I'd imagine that would be right up my alley.

So, Tard, what did you think of The Golden Plates?

[OpTard]

was that that mormon thing that allred did?

[Batman]

Yes.

[OpTard]

yeah. i didn't go anywhere near that.

[Batman]

Yeah, it was pretty weird. Nice art though.

I've read some MadMan before, and I think it's an acquired taste. Didn't float my boat, but I see how other people loved it.

Is there a promotionale reason for the big hardbound edition? Is the author coming out with a new MadMan series?

[OpTard]

it was originally supposed to come out in february, to coincide with a new madman series being published by image that started in march. the new series started ontime, but due to printing issues, the omnibus didn't come out till now.
